Villa Paradis

Saint Raphaël , Var

Description

Perched on the seafront between Cannes and St Tropez, Villa Paradis was built in 1860 by the architect Chapoulard renowned for his magnificent Moorish villas on the French Riviera.

With breathtaking views of the Mediterranean and the Bay of St Tropez, Villa Paradis is nestled in over an acre of immaculately manicured gardens, home to century old palms and umbrella pines. At the bottom of the gardens you will find a boathouse and private port offering a small motorboat, catamaran, kayaks, water-skis, a windsurf board and a yacht beckoning for a jet set escape along the Côte d’Azur.

Due to its location and exceptional past, it is one of the most reputable estates of the area open uniquely to a privileged few offering prestige, luxury, comfort and tranquillity.
The gardens and the large private pool add to the beauty of Villa Paradis.

Each of the 10 en suite bedrooms have a unique style of its own and are tastefully furnished boasting beautiful views of the gardens and the Mediterranean. All are air conditioned, have a safe, satellite television, phone and stereo.
